Abstract

A method of backing up medical records stored as electronic record in a system that includes a network interface device and a remote archive. The method includes routing a selected medical record to the network interface device linking the selected medical record and a backup copy thereof, stored at first and second locations, respectively, the first and second locations being remote from each other; and establishing one or more further backup copies of the selected medical record at one or more respective further backup locations, when at least one of the selected medical record or the backup copy thereof are to be removed from a respective one or ones of the first and second locations, each further backup location being remote from other further backup locations and from the first and second locations.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of storage and retrieval systems and, more particularly, to a method and system for backing up medical records.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In recent years, many different types of medical images have increasingly been digitized (e.g., x-ray images, full field mammography images and ultrasound images, among others) and these medical images are stored in a digital format. As such, hospitals are now experiencing a growing need for large storage systems to handle the large number of the medical records and images stored in these digital formats. As the number of stored medical records and images increases, storage capacity on medical networks (e.g., secured hospital networks) is becoming more prohibitive, since space to store such records and images also must increase. Moreover, disaster recovery and / or back-up storage procedures are a consideration due to the importance of the medical records and retention requirem...
